You really want me to be honest? In 30 years, Eich will be idolized as a god by the JavaScript monkeys. They will say he invented dynamic typing, static typing, the closure, the garbage collector, the string, the IEEE float, the stack, the array, the list, the object, the class, the browser, the operating system, the high level language, and the computer. They will compare him to Tesla. Everything in ECMAScript 61231241312414 will be credited to the "genius" of Eich, as if it was his plan all along. Every line of code ever written in JavaScript will be treated as if Eich personally created the concept and the implementation. Every bit of syntax copied from JavaScript and everything that compiles to JavaScript will be taught to students as though it were the personal work of Eich. All other languages will only matter for their effect on the design of JavaScript. They will say he saved us from programming in binary. They will say he created the Internet and the cell phone. Anyone who wants to eliminate the plague will be considered the enemy to all the "billions of lines" of code Eich created.
